Leif Garrett

Leif was born in Hollywood, California, on the 8th of November, 1961. His first public media appearance was in the 1973 motion picture, Walking Tall, at the age of twelve. The two sequels to the trilogy established Garrett as an attractive surfer-boy commodity, all long blonde hair, blue eyes, kissy lips, and laid-back SoCal accent.

By the end of the seventies, Leif was running out of pop idol puff, and started to drift into obscurity. Three more record albums were recorded and released in 1979, 1980, and 1981 (Same Goes for You, Can't Explain, and My Movie of You, respectively), however no big hits would be forthcoming for Leif, regardless of his icon status.

In 1999, on the 29th of July, he was busted in a police sting operation, and pleaded guilty for possession of cocaine and heroin. The Los Angeles Municipal Court ruled that Garrett could go into to rehab instead of jail.
